(Continued on Page 5) e Rockenbach ies; Buried Tuesday George Rockenbach Rockenbach, Annual Event Is Memorial to Dead and Aid to Living Poppy Day, which has a real sigâ€" nificance to every American who re. members with pride the services of the men who died in the World war and of those who were disabled durâ€" ing the war, will be held in all comâ€" munities throughout the United States on Saturday, May 23. » By wearing the American Legion poppy citizens can all honor the war dead ‘and help the war‘s living vi¢â€" tims. Each American Legion poppy is an individual tribute and has been made individually by a disabled vetâ€" eran. 1 In Highland Park, the auxiliary of the Dumaresq Spencer post each year has taken ‘over the sale of these poppies within the community. These roppiu, made by disabled veterans ocated in hospitals in the State of lllinois, enable them to earn a féw dollars during the year,. The maâ€" terial from which the poppies are made is furnished to him by the American Legion Department of IMiâ€" nois. The Department of Illinois also makes a small profit, and with these funds do rehabilitation work in the veterans‘ hospitals throughout the state. The Auxiliary of the Duâ€" maresq Spencer post also does re. habilitation work in hospitals with the profit it receives. Citizens should realize, therefore, that Poppy Day has a real meaning to the vast amount of necessary and vital hospital work throughout this state, The man or woman in the community who purchases a p"py is not only doing honor to those who made sacrifices during the war, but is giving a real helping hand to those disabled veterans who because of their war exiperiences are confined to hospitals, many of them for the rest of their natural lives. Immediately after the war, the poppy wasâ€"selected as the symbol of the sacrifices that were ‘made at that time and has become the meâ€" morial flower of the American Leâ€" gion and the American Legion Auxâ€" iliary. . Everyone â€"remembers the beautiful poem of the poppy as imâ€" mortfliudhOo‘lnnelJohnlecln’l words written on the eve of his traâ€" gic death: ; "In Flanders Field, the poppies blow Ahat matk "oue Biigc! and in the, aky Bearce heard amidst the guns . To you from failing hands we throw ‘The Torch â€" be yours to hold it high ; x‘f'nmwvm--h&.. Il.flnl‘ul’ a" _ tee* Governor Horner has issued the following statement in connection with the forthcoming "Poppy Day": "I gladly call to the attention of the citizens of our state the annual ‘Poppy Day‘ for 1986, sponsored by the Poppy Commission of the Amerâ€" ican Legion, Department ef TIllincis. It is scheduled for Monday, May 25 for the City of Chicago and Cook county, and Saturday, May 23 for the rest of the state. My earnest hope is that the citizens of IHincis will wholeâ€"heartedly support this most worthy cause by purchasing the little symbol of Flander‘s field Which will be on public sale on those days. "Rrior to 1936, the veterans in the Elgin State hospital, where the pop.â€" pies then were assembled, were the only beneficiaries. For the present year the Poppy commission has exâ€" tended the assembling of pepipies to Jacksonville, East Moline and Alton State hoapitals and the World war heroes of those hospitals will also be ‘the beneficiaries. Thus a greater ‘number w.finhdud for sale, not only will these disâ€" ‘abled veterans be made happier but Richman‘s ‘Tailor Shop To Be in New Location also the generous purchasers." Richman‘s Tailor Shop, now loâ€" cated in Fell‘s Clothing store on Central avenue, will be in new quarâ€" ters in the Pearl theater building, 18 9.
